HC Deb 08 May 1939 vol 347 cc41-2W
Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any in- formation concerning recent German negotiations with Scandinavian countries, particularly as affecting the Aaland Islands?

Mr. Butler

I understand that the German Government have approached the Governments of certain Scandinavian and Baltic countries with a view to exchanging guarantees of non-aggression with, each of them, and that the matter is now under consideration by the Governments approached. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to-day to the hon. and learned Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson) on the subject of the Aaland Islands.
